Is reading translations and adaptations a challenge for you? See how the characters in The Sea Wolf cope with difficulties. This novel by Jack London tells the story of Humphrey Van Weyden, who after a shipwreck ends up on the schooner Ghost, where he encounters a cruel captain nicknamed Wolf Larsen. Van Weyden, an intellectual and literary critic, is forced to learn to survive in harsh sea conditions and confront Larsen's philosophy based on social Darwinism and individualism. As the story progresses, the characters engage in deep philosophical debates about the meaning of life, morality, and human nature. The novel explores themes of strength and inner dignity. Enjoy this work in the original language without adaptation.
